About the Show: Meet Mrs. Dolly Levi, a matchmaking widow set on pairing up those caught in her scheming. Join us for a beloved story of misinformation, peacocking, and general meddling as Dolly takes the task of finding a wife for the rich, well-known and very un-married Horace Vandergelder. With songs including "Hello Dolly", "It Only Takes a Moment", and “Put On Your Sunday Clothes", you are sure to share Dolly's joy as she meddles her way to matching all and catching herself a husband in the process.
